Grand jury indicts man for alleged cheating in fishing contest
A Bridgeport man was indicted by a Wood County grand jury for trimming a bass tail for prize eligibility.
Terry Keith Long was charged with fraud at a freshwater fishing tournament, a third-degree felony, according to the Texas Parks & Wildlife.
Long was participating in the McDonald Big Bass Splash on Lake Fork in September when he brought a fish in to be weighed.
“Further investigation revealed that his fish had been altered with its tail trimmed to fall within the slot limit,” according to Texas Parks & Wildlife.
Long was arrested Friday and released on a $25,000 bond.
